The Satirical 300 is an audacious collection of 300 satirical political drawings by multidisciplinary artist Gianni Lee. Rendered on handmade Shizen watercolor paper (5x7, 300 gsm, rough texture), this series reimagines Lee’s street-inspired skeleton motifs, transforming them into a cohesive yet provocative commentary on contemporary society.
Born from a surge of raw ideas and a desire for structure, Lee’s creative process is both spontaneous and deliberate. He starts by jotting down unfiltered themes on cards, shuffling them like prompts, and drawing whatever theme emerges—capturing the randomness of scrolling through a social media feed. Each piece pulses with immediacy, humor, and a sharp critique of modern life.
The Satirical 300 is more than just a collection. It serves as a conceptual framework for Lee’s future large-scale wall murals, turning fleeting sketches into iconic public art. The title underscores the project’s monumental scale and its biting reflection of our cultural and political landscape, challenging viewers to question the world we inhabit.
Blending Lee’s signature skeleton imagery with incisive satire, this series transcends traditional art forms, creating an immersive narrative that resonates deeply with the times.
